Harry and Ginny were fooling around in the Potion's classroom, Harry's new place of choice. Ever since he'd heard Snape betraying his father, he has done everything in his power to defy him, including having sex in his office. Once they were finished and half-dressed, Harry walked around the classroom, casually knocking a few things over like a cat.
"Why do you always want to do stuff in here?" Ginny asked, smoothing out her skirt. Harry merely laughed a bit. While she was turned around he noticed a small black book sticking out of her backpack, this was the same description Kasse had given him about her diary that he was supposed to be wary of. He quickly snatched it from her and stuffed it into his robes just before she turned around to face him.
"What're you doing?" she asked skeptically.
"This!" Harry thought quickly, he lifted her up onto the desk and started to kiss her neck, all while she giggled and batted him playfully.
"What. Are. You. Doing!" A dark voice said from behind them.
"Oh my God!" Ginny squealed, she pushed Harry off of her and stood up, Harry turned towards the door to see Snape had just entered, his blood boiled.
"Snogging, obviously, do you mind?" Harry spat back at him. Ginny smacked his shoulder, trying to get him to stop, but Harry was already too far ahead.
"I have absolutely had it with you Lestrange, you're a disobedient sniveling little child. You're as thick-headed as your father only twice as delinquent and adolescent-"
"Don't you DARE talk about my father!" Harry roared, "You coward, playing both sides to save your own arse, be a bloody man and choose a side or-"
"Or else what boy? Do you really think you're in the position to make threats? You are a child, it's no wonder your father told us to-"
"I'll tell my father, I'll tell him that you're playing sides and that you're working with The Order, handing over our secrets." Harry threatened. Snape looked over at Ginny, wondering how Harry found out he was slipping secrets to The Order. Ginny looked down.
"Don't you look at her, look at me," Harry demanded, his voice was so dark and controlling that it seemed Snape obeyed him against his will. "Get out of here, love, now!" He said to Ginny as he slowly reached into his back pocket. Ginny gathered up her things quickly and left the room, Harry pulled out his wand.
"Pledge your allegiance, right now! To me and my father, or face the consequences."
"You are a student here boy! I have the power over you!"
"Pledge your allegiance."
"NEVER! Never to you, you're the bastard of a tyrannical maniac and you don't even know who you are. I'd rather 100 live bats eat out my throat than EVER pledge any sort of allegiance to you."
"If you're against me, then you're against my father."
"Precisely, I would never take the same side as your father, your real father."
"Then you've made your choice." Without uttering a word Harry sent a ray of grey light towards Snape, causing a cut so deep in his arm that it nearly came off. Snape screamed in pain.
"That's it! That's it! The Dark Lord will hear about this," Snape wailed, gripping his nearly detached arm. In a puff of smoke he was gone, Harry was left in the room, thinking about what he had just done. He was in so much trouble, Snape was going to get to his father first and Harry would never be allowed in school again. Unless… Unless he could prove this wasn't all for nothing. Without barely thinking, Harry ransacked the potions classroom and stole every last vial of polyjuice potion in it. He ran to the Room of Requirement and waited outside the wall. He pressed his wand against his Dark Mark, signaling his friends to come to meet him. They were all there in a little less than 5 minutes.
"What's going on Haz?" Draco asked, looking concerned. Harry muttered as he placed a hand on the wall, a door appeared before them. He motioned for everyone to follow him in, then told his story. In the end, he made the proclamation that they were conducting their plan tonight, right now actually. This, he thought, would save him from possibly being in more trouble.
"But we're not ready, we don't even have all the hair we need." Goyle said nervously.
"We'll be ready if we have to be!" Kasse told him, puffing out his chest, "Even if we have to storm the Ministry bare-assed if Harry says go we go!"
"Kasse's right," Blaise entered the conversation, "I don't know about you lot but I've been ready, we're right behind you Harry."
"Okay, if I'm right," Harry started with the plan, "The fireplace in this room will lead up to Hogsmead where it'll be easier for me to disapparate with you all and-" before he could finish, there was a banging on the door. This made even Harry jump, because there was no way anyone but him could have accessed this room. The door flew open, The boys in the room all stood, pointing their wands at it. Ginny came bursting into the room looking frantic.
"Where is he, where is it!" she was manic, she ran over to Harry and started slapping his shoulders and face.
"Where is it! Where is my diary! I had it in the classroom and now it's gone! You have it, you have it! Give it back!" She screamed.
Harry looked over her shoulder at Kasse, who looked fearful of the commotion. He grabbed Ginny's wrists and tried to comfort her, claiming to have no idea what she was talking about. Ginny struggled against him, there was no way this was just an ordinary diary. They struggled for a bit, before Ginny gasped and suddenly went limp on him. Harry looked around to see Draco putting away his wand.
"What the hell?" Harry asked, using all his strength to keep Ginny up.
"We don't have time for this bullshit! We've got to go, a schoolgirl crying about her diary is the least of our worries now!"
"What are we supposed to do with her then?" Harry groaned, Ginny's deadweight was heavier than he thought.
"Her dad works for the Ministry right? Let's take her with and use her hair for the polyjuice, she won't seem out of place there, she could just be visiting her dad. And if we all stay split up until we find the Department of Mysteries, no one will know the better!" Blaise came up this plan off the top of his head.
"Works for me, let's go!" Harry hoisted Ginny up over his shoulder and carried her through the fireplace, following his friends out of Hogwarts.

When the boys and Ginny arrived outside the Ministry of Magic they found a large fountain to hide behind, it was about closing time for most of the workers, mid-evening. Harry opened his school bag and took out the vials of polyjuice potion. He plucked a few hairs from Ginny's head and put it into each potion, when they drank it, it had no flavor as though Ginny were a blank slate. Slowly, they all turned into average height red-headed girls.
"Whoa look at me! I can now say I've been inside Ginny Weasley!" Blaise/Ginny proclaimed while examining his new figure.
"Who can't?" Draco/Ginny scoffed, pulling at his newly baggy clothes.
"Watch it!" Harry/Ginny warned, "Don't act stupid, I'm giving you all permission to be my girlfriend-"
"Your lucky day eh Dre?" Blaise/Ginny whispered to Draco/Ginny, Draco/Ginny nudged him in the ribs.
Harry/Ginny continued, "So we all know the map is ancient but it's the best we've got. I say we split up and look for the Department of Mysteries if you find it, come find me and I'll bring everyone together with my mark, got it? Alright so Blaise you go North, I'll go South, Draco you go East, and Kasse you go West."
"What about me?" Goyle/Ginny asked, hands on his hips.
"Sorry Goyle, but I need you to take Ginny and stay out of sight, none of us can be caught together," Harry explained to him.
"If I wasn't going in why did I have to take the potion too?"
Harry thought for a moment, "Horrible planning I guess, but I'm too lazy to go back and rewrite this, sorry Goyle. The rest of you lot, let's go inside, stay in your area and try to just stay out of sight. If anyone asks you're just here to see your dad in the Muggle department, got it?" The boy/Ginnies each went around to different entrances of the building. It didn't take long for Harry to realize the map was useless, it was far too old and the Ministry of Magic had a completely different layout now. He walked for what felt like hours until
"Ginny? Ginny! What're you doing here?" A pink frizzy haired woman approached Harry/Ginny, he stepped back from her. "Er, hi," he said apprehensively.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" she asked, looking him up and down quizzically.
"Oh erm, I-I was just visiting my dad… Homesick." Harry/Ginny came up with quickly, the woman still eyed him carefully. Harry/Ginny studied her as well, he caught a glimpse of her name tag. "Er, Nymphadora, it was great to see you but I really must find my dad, have a great night!" Harry/Ginny smiled and quickly rushed past the woman, who stood still on her spot. Harry looked down at his hand, his real skin was already starting to show. Leave it to Snape to brew an ineffective potion. Harry started to head East to find Draco, he hid in a corner until a Ginny with short curly brown hair walked past. He grabbed her and dragged her to the shadows.
"My Heir!" Kasse/Ginny said with a deep breath, "Thank God I found you, the map is too old, nothing is in the same place!"
"I've realized that, where is Draco?" Harry felt his body slowly return to normal and he watched Kasse come into form as well.
"I don't know, I went looking for you."
"Damn it… Okay let's go find Goyle and regroup, then we can-"
"There you are!" Ginny snarled, she came around the corner too fast for Harry to have seen her, she grabbed him by the front of his robes.
"Why are we at the Ministry, why did Goyle look like me, and where is my damn diary!" She demanded. Harry thought quickly, "It's in the Department of Mysteries my love, I left it there, we should go get it yeah?" he lied. Ginny growled and stormed off in a different direction, she obviously knew where the Department of Mysteries was, Kasse and Harry followed her closely. They went down a long dark hallway, they couldn't see the end but could hear someone humming merrily in the distance.
"That sounds like my dad…" Ginny said as she walked faster, Harry and Kasse picked up speed to follow her. There was a small light illuminating a door, and by that door was a stout man with reddish-grey hair. When they got close enough, his eyes widened.
"Ginny?"
"Dad?"
"Kasse grab her!" Harry shouted. Without hesitation, Kasse grabbed Ginny from behind and held a hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream. Harry took out his wand "Sectumsempra!" Blood started gushing from the father Weasley, he collapsed on the ground, writhing in pain and holding the spot where the blood was coming. Ginny screamed behind Kasse's hand, she tried to wiggle away from him but he was much stronger than her. Harry looked down at his work, his adrenaline started to rush, for a moment he thought he wanted to stay to watch the light leave the man's eyes, but he knew he had to move quickly. He opened the door to the Department of Mysteries. He told Kasse to take Ginny and follow him in, Kasse obeyed all the while Ginny's muffled screams floated down the long hallway.

"Nobody calls me Nymphadora, there's something wrong and you need to get here fast," Tonks said to the fireplace in her office at the Ministry.
"Are you sure it was Ginny?" Molly Weasley asked, sounded frightened.
"As sure as her hair is red," Tonks told her, "But that wasn't Ginny, Ginny would never call me Nymphadora, nobody does."
"We're coming up there, is Arthur still there?" Sirius asked; He, James, and Lily were also in the fireplace conversation.
"I went to check on him before I came up here and he was fine, he said he hadn't seen Ginny around but he would keep an eye out," Tonks explained.
"Good…" Lupin mused, "Whatever is going on up there is fishy, especially since Ginny should be at school, Dumbledore would never allow a student to leave just to talk to a parent, we'll be right there. Thank you, Tonks."
Tonks blushed slightly, "You're welcome." With that, all the faces disappeared from the fire. Tonks paced her office for a moment before her door was kicked in. In came Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Lavender.
"Wotcher guys, what're you doing here? How did you get here?" She asked them.
"Never mind that," Ron said quickly, "They may be already here and Ginny is missing!"
"Who is they?" Tonks asked quizzically.
"Harry! Harry and a few other Slytherins, there isn't much time to explain but we heard from someone in their inner circle that they had a plan and we found their meeting room and it said they were coming here! And with Ginny missing we only expected that they kidnapped her and brought her here!" Hermione said hastily.
"Can we really say its kidnapping if she's dating Harry? She probably came on her own accord." Lavender spoke up, all the while glaring at Hermione.
"Ginny is dating Harry?" Tonks was deeply confused and completely out of the loop.
"Regardless, she's missing and we came here to warn you lot that they may be here too!" Ron finished. Tonks thought for a moment, "Ginny is here, I just saw her but she was acting strange and I don't think it was her… You lot stay here and stay safe, I'm going to go patrol the offices." Tonks said before leaving her office. The four Gryffindors looked at each other.
"We aren't actually going to stay here are we?" Neville asked nervously. Ron smiled at him, "You know me so well Neville, let's go."
They left Tonk's office and walked quickly around the Ministry. It was strange that nobody was noticing them, they all seemed too busy trying to get home. It was empty when they ran into Ginny looking frantic and running from a room.
"Ginny!" Ron shouted at his sister, Ginny stopped cold in her tracks. She turned to face the group.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Ron asked her as they got closer.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Ginny asked back. Hermione ran up to hug her, "Ginny! We thought they'd kidnapped you, are they here, where are they?"
"What are you-" Ginny started but then- "EXPELLIARMUS!" all of their wands went soaring from their hands. When they turned to see who had cast the spell, Blaise was standing there, his wand in one hand and five others in the other.
"What are you lot doing here?" He demanded.
"We're going to ask the same of you." Ron said much more bravely than he felt.
"Since you're here, you're going to help me! You!" He pointed to Neville, "Go outside and get my friend, he's passed out by the fountain because of this bitch" he pointed to Ginny. "The rest of you, take me to the Department of Mysteries, NOW!"
"Just do as he says," Hermione whispered to the group, "We can't fight back and maybe he will lead us to the rest of them."
Soon enough, Neville ran out of the now-empty building to find Goyle while Ron, Lavender, Hermione, and Ginny walked ahead of Blaise leading him to the Department of Mysteries. As they walked down the dark tunnel Ron whispered to Hermione, "It's dark down here, we could easily jump him."
"No," Hermione said as quietly as possible. "It's not about him its about finding Harry and stopping him. Ginny, can you tell us anything?"
"STOP TALKING!" Blaise roared from behind them, holding all six wands pointed at them, ready. The sight that found them by the door made them all jump and scream.
"DAD!" Ron ran towards his father, who was bleeding out and very pale. The door to the Department of Mysteries was opened.
"Holy shit," Ginny whispered.
"Looks like Harry came down here already," Blaise observed.
"I'll kill him, I'LL KILL HIM!" Ron roared through his tears, taking his dad into his arms, Hermione kneeled by him, she turned to Blaise.
"Please, please give me my wand. I just want to help him!"
"Why should I do that?" Blaise looked down at her disgustedly.
"Because… Because if Harry did do this and he dies then he's in a lot more trouble than he already is! Leaving a bloody trail will only get him caught and arrested!" Hermione reasoned. Blaise looked at her for a moment, then tossed her one of the wands. He then grabbed Ginny and put her in a chokehold, "I'm taking her as collateral, you come after me and-and I kill her, you understand me?" he threatened, when Hermione, Ron, and Lavender did not move he dragged Ginny through the door, going to find Harry.
